柯布西耶曾说，“住宅是居住的机器”。随着科技的进步，更多拥有思考的人工智能机器已然出现。未来全屋智能系统的引入，住宅这一种“机器“也正在经历着智能化的进化，更多房子也将拥有思考和思维。 受隽雅智能的委托，加减智库为其设计位于广州的智能家居展厅。展厅集中展示隽雅智能在全屋智能系统的尖端技术，包括智能灯光控制的全场景体验，智能窗帘系统的体验，以及智能家庭影院的体验空间。全屋智能系统展厅最大的挑战在于，如何能提供更好的场景体验的同时，更直观的展示“智能系统”的产品属性。 作为一栋独立的建筑，展厅四面均为落地玻璃幕墙，在整个家居中心拥有十分特别的建筑体量。从展厅外部透过玻璃幕墙，能直接看到展厅内部的空间构成。因此，设计希望利用这一空间特点，将展馆打造成一个由内而外的透明盒子，让这栋由全屋智能系统打造而成的空间变成一个完整的“产品”和“空间标本“，从而使智能系统在室内的各种场景及灯光变化，直接成为展厅在室外的展示面。 展厅共分为两层，其中首层集中展示智能系统面板与窗帘系统。设计希望通过引入如洞穴般的展示墙体，在较小的展示空间的创造更多的展示面。而同时，这些墙体犹如整个室内空间的骨骼，从展厅外透过玻璃幕墙，就能洞悉整个室内空间的生长和构成，配合拥有渐变效果的灯光系统，让整栋建筑仿佛拥有了呼吸。 随着由弧形墙体所包裹的螺旋楼梯向上，便是展厅二层家庭智能影院体验区。在该层中，通过隽雅智能系统的控制，可实现在不同心境或使用场景下的全屋家居一键联动控制，包括灯光、电视、音箱、投影、窗帘、甚至壁炉等。例如，在一键切换到影院模式下，环绕整个展厅的超长弧形窗帘系统会自动关闭，室内灯光将自动熄灭，电影投影幕布及影院音箱环绕系统将自动打开。整个过程全程同步进行，做在展厅中央观影沙发上的体验者，能直接感受到整个展厅的动作变化，同时也让在展厅外的人也能看见整个展厅的变化动态。也正因此，展厅除了智能系统的场景体验之余，也给整套智能系统在展示层面上赋予很强的产品展示属性。 在社会和科技高度发展的今天，以及可预见的未来，全屋智能系统的引入，必然会给住宅带来新的进化，同时也是更能回归到居住本质进化。加减智库希望，通过本案设计，探讨全屋智能家居系统在下一代智能住宅中的使用场景的可能性。
Le Corbusier, a Swiss-French architect, once remarked, ‘A House is a machine for living’. Owing to the progress in technology, more artificial intelligence machines with advanced thinking capabilities have been developed. With the introduction of smart whole-house systems in the future, ‘house machine’ will undergo intelligent evolution, and they will have thinking capabilities. Commissioned by GEMART, PMT Partners Ltd. conducted a smart home exhibition store in Guangzhou. The store focuses on GEMART’s cutting-edge technology in whole-house smart systems, including the full-scene experience areas of intelligent lighting control, intelligent curtain system and intelligent home theatre. The biggest challenge of this store is how to provide a better scene experience and show the product attributes of the ‘smart system’ in an intuitive manner. The store is an independent building that has floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all four sides and a special architectural volume in the furnishing mall. From the outside of the store, the interior of the store can be seen directly through the glass wall. Therefore, architect hopes to utilize this spatial feature to convert the store into a totally transparent box so that the space created by the whole-house smart system becomes a complete ‘product’ and ‘spatial specimen’. Moreover, the various scenes and lighting changes controlled by the smart system in the interior become the outdoor display of the store. The store is divided into two floors. The first floor focuses on the display of intelligent system panels and curtain systems. The design hopes to create additional display sides in a small display space by introducing cave-like display walls. Meanwhile, these walls are like the skeleton of the entire interior space. From the outside of the store, you can see the composition of the entire interior space through the glass wall. Coupled with the gradually changing effect of the lighting system, the entire building seems to be breathing and alive. The spiral staircase along the arched wall leads to the second floor of the store, which is the experience area of the intelligent home theatre. On this floor, through the control of GEMART’s smart system, the entire house is interconnected and can be managed by a central key according to various users’ requirements and use scenarios, including lighting, TV, loudspeaker box, projection, curtains and the fireplace. For example, in the one-key switch to theatre mode, the extra-long arched curtain system surrounding the entire store will automatically close, the interior lights will automatically switch off and the movie projection screen and the surround sound system will automatically open. The entire process is synchronized, and the user, who is on the sofa at the center of the store, can directly feel the changes in the entire store. People outside of the store can also see the dynamic changes in the entire store. Thus, in addition to the direct experience of the intelligent system, the store boasts a strong product display attribute of the whole-house smart system. In the present highly developed society with advanced technology, as well as the foreseeable future, the introduction of whole-house smart systems will certainly initiate a new evolution of the residence, an evolution that will bring us closer to the essence of living. PMT Partners Ltd. hopes that, through the design of this store, the possibility of using whole-house smart home systems in the next generation of intelligent houses will be explored.
